3. The Landmark Builder opens, displaying a form for completion. Also displayed is a map, showing a pushpin in the area you selected.
Required input fields are outlined in red.
4. Enter a name for the new landmark in the Name field.
5. Choose a shape for your landmark area in the Shape field. There are three (3) shapes to choose from:
· Square - Click in your landmarked area, ensuring that the landmark pushpin is included in the shape. Click and drag the landmark handle(s) (square box) to enlarge or reduce the size of the area. You can also click inside or outside of your shape to change the size.
· Circle - Click in your landmarked area, ensuring that the landmark pushpin is included in the shape. Click and drag the landmark handle(s) (square box) to enlarge or reduce the size of the area. You can also click inside or outside of your shape to change the size.
· Polygon - Click to begin drawing your polygon. As you click at each point of the polygon's shape, a handle (square box) will display. Your polygon can take any shape you want - click and drag the handles to modify the shape as necessary. Ensure that the pushpin is located inside the shape, and that you do not draw a line across your shape. When you finish drawing, make sure that you close the shape by clicking again at the starting point.
6. Complete the address fields, if you have a unique address. The more exact your address, the better the geocode quality will be. See Grid Icons for more information on geocode indicators.
7. If your address is not exact, a listing of suggested addresses will display. You must select from one of the addresses to continue.
8. You can also enter a value in the Radius field to determine the size of the landmark.
Note that the radius field is measured in feet. Estimate the size of the building or area that corresponds to the landmark in feet. For example, if you are adding a landmark for a building with more than one level, estimate only the perimeter of the building, not the total square footage.
9. Choose Verify & Draw to geocode and approve your landmark area.
Depending on the geocode quality of your landmark, you may get a confirmation dialog that states: 'The specified landmark corresponds to a different map location (latitude and longitude). Do you want to move the landmark pushpin to the address?'
10. Choose Yes if you want the landmark to be moved to the more accurate geocode location.
11. Choose No if you want the landmark to remain in its current location. You may want the landmark to stay if, for example, your target is a construction site that has no address, or a campus where an exact address isn't important.
